Astonishingly, that seems to be a bug in glib's memory allocation. I
didn't file a bug on bugzilla.gnome.org (yet); however, I reported it
on the mailing list, see:
http://www.nabble.com/Astonishing-allocation-bug-in-glib-2.16.4-compiled-with-gcc-2.96-to18428394.html

The bug is in mono. I' going to file some.

Major point for all users: set G_SLICE=debug-blocks most of the times.
That is, unless you can bet there are no bugs :-)

Unfortunately, even mono's test suite runs without that. That's nonsensical.
